Note To Self

i decided to stop taking life for granted.
enemies constantly attacking the roots that i’ve planted. 
obstacle after obstacle within these mental gymnastics.
reconnecting with the earth just trying to find my balance.
hard to ignore that oftentimes life can so be tragic.
used to suppress my emotions, now i no longer mask it.
my mind is my home, so why do i feel captive?
my mind is my own, so why is it so easily distracted?
you cannot be fooled again once you learn the tactics.
had to tell my mind to stop and let my body take action.
had to tell my worries goodbye and let my faith be the captain.
gradual shifts, tightrope walking over figurative cliffs.
the longer you delay…the bigger it gets.
so be active and in doing so, you’ll gain traction.
i believe in you, so go and make it happen.
